Global Business and Economics Review (GBER), Vol. 13, No. 3/4, 2011

Abstract: Globalisation leads to mobilisation of human capital and an increase in the number of employees who leave their countries because of relocation. Relocation or recruitment of local employees to work in a foreign country requires good adjustment skills. Studies have found a high rate of failure in relocation. The current article suggests that one important reason for failure may have to do with the motivation shown by expatriates prior to relocation. Employee whose motivation is questionable will find the task especially difficult. The paper reviews the situational and personal factors that can influence the motivation for relocation.
